Description
Gallery 16 is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Lauren Davies. "When Hell Freezes Over" presents a sculptural replica of the Twillingate polar bear that was shot and killed in the seaside village of Twillingate, Newfoundland, surrounded by a slightly odd assortment of natural history knock-offs, much like those found in the actual museum in Newfoundland: sparkling iceberg models made from fake sugar cubes; landscapes models that have morphed into objects of household convenience; a tattered scrap of a fleece blanket has turned into a fuzzy waterfall; an explorer’s flag that appears to be made from wood is waving over a snow ball fort that will never melt. Combining mixed media sculpture, digital prints on fabric and diagrammatic paintings, Davies' installation meshes crafts, conceptualism and environmental concerns with questions about what comprises a museum and one town’s sense of its own history.More Info
